About this title

Synopsis

Note: A Newer Version of this Book is Now Available. Please See Building Social Relationships-3 on Amazon.

This comprehensive five-step model addresses the need for social programming for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders by helping children identify the skills they need to form relationships and an intervention plan to help them acquire these skills. Instead of offering a single strategy, this book organizes the myriad social skills strategies and resources currently available to make it easier for parents and educational professionals to teach social skills and design social skills programs for children with ASD.
